also that bit about how he was there to count just how many hitmen colonnello beat as he brought down an entire italian mafia family... do you think reborn just shows up in colonnello’s daily life with his binoculars, a drink, a camera and a sunbed at the ready, going all like “all right, time for my one-sided date. don’t mind me, i’m just here to admire and congratulate myself on just how immaculate my tastes are, you won’t even notice me”? please say yes.

SUMMARY:

Practicing kissing, as every teenager on Earth knows, can't be counted as real kissing anyway. Especially between two boys.

hey nonny, thank you for the ask! and thanks for coming back to me even months later, that's so sweet of you. 🥺❤

oh nonny, you have no idea how much i love this take. wrote a whole fic about it actually. and my friend @chierry actually came up with it too around the time i made that post, and drew a hilarious doodle about it which still cracks me up to this day lmao.

but yes, this is such a reborn thing to do, and i wholeheartedly agree they might canonically not be childhood friends at all. i mean, they'll always be in my heart because i hold that part of their dynamic close to my heart and i'll always keep writing them in that context, but this is still a dynamic i like to think about and occasionally write about, for the sheer comedic potential of it if nothing else lol.

i mean, when do you think reborn even started introducing colonnello as his "childhood friend"? from the very beginning? and then he presumably just kept doing it for decades? until they actually became besties and knew each other so well they might as well have been childhood friends?
